Welcome to the official website for Scarisbrick Hall

Scarisbrick Hall is an imposing and richly embellished Gothic-Revival masterpiece, celebrated for its association with some of the key architects who championed the reintroduction of the medieval Gothic style to architectural design in the nineteenth century. Chief amongst these is the celebrated architect Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852), the most influential figure amongst all of the Gothic revivalists. Scarisbrick Hall was Pugin’s first, and only major, domestic commission. For these reasons Scarisbrick Hall is Grade I listed, which means that the building is regarded as being of exceptional importance.

Scarisbrick Hall is a one hundred and fifty room mansion built between 1830-1860 incorporating the work of  Thomas Rickman as well as and A.W.N Pugin as well as Pugin’s son, E.W.Pugin.

The Hall has been described as the finest example of residential Gothic renaissance architecture in the county and is officially listed and protected as a building of special architectural interest.

The elaborate oak carvings and panelling and the exquisitely decorated ceilings are overpowering in their beauty.

ScarisbrickPark, an extensive private estate protected by preservation order, provides a charming setting for this stately home.  The wide expanse of woodland and pasture, the delightful gardens, the lake and stream combine to give an air of spacious grandeur and peace.

Located in West Lancashire, midway between Southport and Ormskirk on the A570, Scarisbrick Hall was the family home of The Scarisbrick family lived on this site from 1238 to 1946.

Between 1946 and 1963 Scarisbrick Hall was belonged to the Church of England and was the home of St Katherine’s College.

In 1963 Scarisbrick Hall was purchased by the Oxley Family, since this time Scarisbrick Hall has been the home for an independent school, today Scarisbrick Hall School is thriving.

As well as being the permanent home for Scarisbrick Hall School, Scarisbrick Park is the home of Beautiful Beginnings Day Nursery, the setting offers an unrivalled setting for a day nursery setting.

Following many years during which Scarisbrick Hall condition deteriorated the current owners are working closely with English Heritage and West Lancashire Borough Council with the intention of fully restoring the Hall to its former glory.  In February 2012 English Heritage made a financial commitment of £922,000 to support this objective.
